Choosing a Web-Based Curriculum
As the number of Internet courses increases over the next few years, here are some questions you can ask when considering a Web-based course.

New Rising Homeschool Network
Are you working fulltime and feeling as though you and your children have been left out of the homeschool loop? Are you a single parent concerned you might not be able to meet the demands of homeschooling? Does your child have special needs? Dell's Place has established a network for working moms, single parents, and the rest of us who struggle to pull it all together. The purpose of this network is for support and encouragement, but it's also to offer real solutions from other parents who struggle with the same issues.
Discovering Your Child’s Learning Style
Before you purchase homeschool curriculum, you'll want to give some thought to the different ways that people learn and try to identify your child's learning style. This will benefit your child, but will also make homeschooling easier for you. Most people have one primary learning style, but most of us also overlap somewhat into other styles. Focusing on your child's learning style will help bring more success to your homeschooling.
I Can't Homeschool Because I Don't Have a Degree
Not so! You absolutely can homeschool without a degree. Not only is it not required by most states that a homeschooling parent has a college degree, but it’s simply a misconceived notion that those without a college degree are not intelligent. Certainly that is not the case! The main requirement for homeschooling your children is a parent with a loving heart and a desire to give their child the best. You don’t need special training in child psychology. Remember, you know your child better than anyone else!
